5-Hydroxyuracil (HOU) and 5-hydroxycytosine (HOC) are major oxidative lesions of cytosine with mutagenic potentials. Therefore, HOU and HOC need to be removed from DNA to avoid mutation. In this study, oligonucleotide substrates containing HOU and HOC were synthesized by DNA polymerase reactions and tested for DNA glycosylases. Ung exhibited an extremely low activity for HOU as compared to uracil (U). In contrast, hSMUG1 excised HOU and U with a comparable efficiency. Ung and hSMUG1 did not excise HOC.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Chromatography, Bioaffinity,Immunochromatography,Affinity Chromatography,Bioaffinity Chromatography
D003596 Cytosine A pyrimidine base that is a fundamental unit of nucleic acids.
D004260 DNA Repair The removal of DNA LESIONS and/or restoration of intact DNA strands without BASE PAIR MISMATCHES, intrastrand or interstrand crosslinks, or discontinuities in the DNA sugar-phosphate backbones. DNA Damage Response
D045647 DNA Glycosylases A family of DNA repair enzymes that recognize damaged nucleotide bases and remove them by hydrolyzing the N-glycosidic bond that attaches them to the sugar backbone of the DNA molecule. The process called BASE EXCISION REPAIR can be completed by a DNA-(APURINIC OR APYRIMIDINIC SITE) LYASE which excises the remaining RIBOSE sugar from the DNA.
